Luka Doncic loves the Backstreet Boys, Micah Parsons and the Cowboys are fighting, Son Heung-min’s shocking move, and a juicy WNBA trade

Tuesday, August 5, 2025 • Duration 54:33

Madeline and Charlotte are back with a very special announcement: The Sports Gossip Show has officially joined The Athletic Podcast Network! The gals couldn’t be more excited. If you’re new here, this show breaks down and adds context to the wildest developments in the messy world of sports — because it’s much more fun to watch athletes on the field if you know what they’re doing off it.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan who has the standings of multiple leagues memorized or someone who thinks Taylor Swift put Travis Kelce on the map, join Madeline and Charlotte as they watch sports with one eye on the game and one eye on the personal life section of athletes’ Wikipedia pages.

Today’s episode kicks off with an important update about Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. Everyone’s favorite WNBA social media stars, the StudBudz, signed a baby. LA Lakers star Luka Dončić signed a contract extension with general manager Rob Pelinka, and then they took the team to see the Backstreet Boys in Las Vegas. The gals may or may not put on a short play about this.

The USTA announced that a dating show will take place at this year’s US Open called Game, Set, Matchmaker (groan!). WNBA star Dijonai Carrington was traded from the Dallas Wings to the Minnesota Lynx a month after her girlfriend, NaLyssa Smith, was traded from the Wings to the Las Vegas Aces. In more WNBA news, the minority owner of the Celtics bought the Connecticut Sun and wants to move the team to Boston.

Tom Brady is still very online. Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys are in a messy will-they, won’t-they situation. Premiere League star Son Heung-min is heading to LA in an historic move for the MLS. And a quick compressed flower check-in for Kemba Walker’s wedding!

Travis Kelce posted Taylor Swift on main, Nikola Jokić cried because of his horse, Tom Brady is very online, and more Aaron Rodgers drama

Tuesday, July 29, 2025 • Duration 56:09

The gals are back with a show full to the brim with sports gossip! Madeline and Charlotte start off with a few quick updates: 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and his wife, Jenna Purdy, had a baby, Lionel Messi went to a Coldplay concert (lol), and Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Jade Jodes.

Then, the main event: Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce posted a bunch of photos with Taylor Swift. Are they engaged? Are they married? Why are “sources” close to them (Taylor’s publicist Tree Paine) releasing so many quotes about how they’re going to end up together? Also: Taylor posted in support of Happy Gilmore 2, because Travis is in it.

Nikola Jokic loves his horses so much that he cried when one of them won a race. The gals check in on Tom Brady, who has been very active online posting about “breathtaking sunsets that take your breath away,” his cat, and Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding. Lakers star Luka Dončić is ripped on the cover of Men’s Health.

NFL players are in trouble for selling their Super Bowl Tickets. Steelers great Terry Bradshaw and current Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers are fighting. The fascist dictator Benito Mussolini’s grandson plays soccer? Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarett Allen did the High School Musical dance at his wedding. And, finally, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Kylen Granson married Daisy Foko Granson and their wedding was….well, you’ll have to listen to hear the gal’s thoughts!

The Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy comes to visit, Jordon Hudson followed us on Instagram, and Tottenham Hotspur Son Heung-min was blackmailed

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 • Duration 47:51

Today, Madeline and Charlotte welcome a very special guest: Thanks to the NBA, the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy came to visit at the studio (aka Charlotte’s apartment)! A true dream guest who helped the gals with their Sports Gossip Show Eastern and Western Conference Finals preview episode.

The Knicks haven’t made it this far in 25 years, and it’s against the Pacers, the last team they played in the ECFs, and the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. In the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder are facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, and it’s a war of the young stars: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards. Also, Shai is playing his cousin, Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Plus: Knicks WAGs, Myles Turner has a huge collection of legos, “Doin’ it for Mike,” and more!

Also, Giannis Antetokounmpo did a very intriguing Q+A on Twitter, and the gals talk about their trip to the Liberty home opener on Saturday.

Then, the big announcement: Jordon Hudson followed The Sports Gossip Show on Instagram. So Madeline and Charlotte invite her to make an appearance! The new Bill Belichick PR machine seems to be working, because the narrative is changing. Also, are they engaged?

A quick shoutout to Toronto Maple Leaf fans, who are really going through it. Then, some Premier League gossip: two people were arrested on charges of blackmailing Son Heung-min — a player for Tottenham Hotspur and one of South Korea’s most famous athletes — with paternity claims, the police said on Sunday.

Also, a golfer threw a club at the PGA Championship, and Larsa Pippen says she dated Detroit Pistons player Malik Beasley because she “had Covid brain!”

Is the new pope a Knicks fan?, Cardi B hard-launches Stefon Diggs at MSG, Michael Jordan on TV, and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reappear

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 • Duration 52:34

The gals are back from Maine and they have a few new bits of information about the Miss Maine Pageant before getting right into the daily grind of sports gossip. Which, unfortunately for Boston-fan Charlotte, means talking about the injury to Celtics star Jayson Tatum and the fact that the Knicks are now up 3-1 in the second round of the NBA playoffs. But, for new Knicks fan Madeline, these playoffs are the start of something beautiful.

A lot happened at the game. Sitting courtside we had Timothée Chalamet, his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, Kylie’s sister Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny (Kendall’s ex), and Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns’ girlfriend/Kylie’s ex-best friend, Jordyn Woods. Not only that, but the rapper Cardi B and Patriots player Stefon Diggs appeared to hard-launch their relationship? Lots of drama coming out of Madison Square Garden.

Speaking of the Knicks, there’s a new pope (listen to the show, you’ll get it). And the basketball gods have been busy, because the NBA Draft Lottery happened last night, and the Dallas Mavericks shocked the world by receiving the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft after trading away superstar Luka Doncic. Also, Michael Jordan is going to be an announcer for the NBA on NBC??? What a recession indicator!

Then, a few updates on Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick, even though the gals are having an existential crisis about how to cover this story now. Is Aaron Rodgers engaged?? Mallory Pugh and Dansby Swanson announced they’re having a baby and there were no compressed flowers! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted in Philly with Jason and Kylie Kelce for Mother’s Day. Finally, Caitlin Clark’s nice quote about Taylor Swift.

We attended the Miss Maine Pageant featuring Jordon Hudson (with Bill Belichick)

Monday, May 12, 2025 • Duration 01:07:11

When it comes to covering the saga of current UNC head coach and former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, Madeline and Charlotte will stop at nothing to provide you with the best possible information. Which, this weekend, meant driving to Portland, Maine, to attend the Miss Maine Pageant that Jordon was competing in.

The gals simply felt that they wouldn’t be able to talk about the Miss Maine Pageant fairly without seeing it for themselves. And see it they did. They attended both days of the pageant and watched Bill cheer on Jordon, got very invested in the contestants, and gained a lot of insight into how Jordon presents herself. They came away with the feeling that Jordon still wants to be the center of the story, and with a huge amount of respect for anyone who competes.

So here, without further ado, is their full recap and analysis of Miss Maine 2025.

Bill and Jordon update, Spike Lee chose the Met Gala over the Knicks, F1 drama, a tense Oliva Miles x Hannah Hidalgo video, Joe Burrow has a type, BTS of our CNN appearance

Tuesday, May 6, 2025 • Duration 47:42

Madeline and Charlotte start this episode off with a recap of their CNN appearance over the weekend (and say happy birthday to Charlotte’s mom!). Then, a quick update on Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson: they’ve gone quiet. And the gals miss Jordon’s posts! Will she still compete in Miss Maine this weekend? Time will tell.

Then, it’s on to the Met Gala! The event’s theme was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," and tons of athletes showed out for the event: the NY Liberty’s Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, GOAT gymnast Simone Biles, Chicago Sky player Angel Reese, tennis great Serena Williams, Savannah James (LeBron didn’t make it due to injury), and many more. And the gals think that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and his new wife Bry Burrows might have made their first official red carpet appearance at the Met gala.

Then it’s time for an NBA Playoff update, a check-in on Charlotte’s Knicks-Celtics marriage, and Charlotte’s admission that she’s a soft fan. The second round saw two upsets last night — the New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics at home, and the Denver Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder at home. Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been on a tear recently, so the gals give an update on his recent antics, and a quick update on Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo’s fight with Pacers star Tyrese Halliburton’s dad.

A much-requested F1 update: Madeline fills everyone in on driver Max Verstappen and his girlfriend Kelly Piquet, who just welcomed a daughter. Piquet already has a child with F1 driver Daniil Kvyat. Then, the gals analyze a video of Notre Dame basketball star Hannah Hidalgo and former teammate, current TCU star Olivia Miles. They appear to be having a tense exchange at a WNBA preseason game, and there is a lot of body language to decipher!

The gals end the show with A Relationship Update: which Olivia is Joe Burrow dating? Larsa Pippen has a new younger basketball-playing boyfriend, and Aaron Rodgers could be….married?

Another Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson emergency episode breaking down a big week of new reporting and information

Friday, May 2, 2025 • Duration 44:08

Madeline and Charlotte are back with another emergency episode about Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson. This week, the most famous relationship in college football somehow became the biggest story in the sports world — and has leaked out into the world beyond it. More reporting has been coming out all week at a rapid clip, and Madeline and Charlotte have tracked it so that they can break down and analyze all the new developments for SGS listeners.

The story picks back up where SGS left off on Monday. Information came out from the set of the CBS interview that Jordon was very difficult to work with, which is why they included evidence of her interrupting. In the aftermath of that story, Jordon posted an email from Bill in April that seemingly referenced the interview and said that a statement was coming soon. Bill’s literary agency then put out a statement that reads a lot like something Jordon would have written.

The Athletic published an article about how Jordon was the reason UNC’s Hard Knocks season — a docu-series set to follow Bill and the football team in the offseason — got canned. Information also came out that Bill’s friends are concerned, and Jordon was seen wearing a ring on her ring finger at a gala in New York City.

Then, the big statements: Bill put out a statement about the CBS interview through UNC, saying that CBS violated terms of the interview agreement by asking about his personal life and that Jordon was just doing her job (if you know you know). CBS then countered with a statement saying there were no interview parameters agreed to, and everything was fair game. Finally, news broke that Jordon has recently purchased close to nine million dollars worth of real estate in the Boston area since 2023.

Phew! The gals are exhausted! Thanks to all the new listeners out there — Madeline and Charlotte would love you to stick around for non-Belichick news as well. Lot of fun to be had in the Sports Gossip Show Cinematic Universe.

The fall of Shedeur Sanders, Travis Kelce unfollowed Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds?, NBA Playoff fights, and an NFL Golden Bachelor

Tuesday, April 29, 2025 • Duration 27:10

The gals are back with their regularly scheduled programming after the emergency episode on Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson yesterday. Madeline and Charlotte start off with some updates from the NFL Draft, including the fact that the Giants took a quarterback with a very gen Z haircut. Charlotte uses this as an excuse to talk about the time in 2022 that a rumor started about former Jets quarterback Zach Wilson — that he was sleeping with his mom’s best friend.

Then, it’s obviously time to dig into the biggest story from the NFL Draft: The fall of Shedeur Sanders. Is the Sanders family the Kardashians of college football? Given that the Draft is the gossipiest thing about the NFL, there’s a lot to unpack here as to why Shedeur was taken so much later than analysts expected him to. But, as loyal listeners will know, it comes down to the fact that your employer is not your friend.

Then, an update on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, who the gals haven’t talked about in a minute. Because Travis unfollowed Taylor’s (former?) best friend, the actress Blake Lively, and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds. Blake is embroiled in a messy lawsuit, and Taylor might be dragged into it, and Travis is out here making social media moves. Also in the Taylor Swift universe, her friend Gigi Hadid turned 30 over the weekend, and Gigi’s boyfriend, actor Bradley Cooper, wore an Eagles varsity jacket to her party.

The gals also talk about how Ben Stiller flew to Detroit to go to the Knicks game, as did Timothée Chalamet and super-fan Spike Lee, and how everyone’s fighting everyone in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Finally, former NFL player Mel Owens will be the next Golden Bachelor, and the gals may have to bring back recaps.

Emergency episode about Bill Belichick’s bizarre CBS News interview featuring Jordon Hudson

Monday, April 28, 2025 • Duration 28:52

Over the weekend, CBS News Sunday Morning ran an interview with former Patriots coach, current UNC coach Bill Belichick that featured his young girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. It was ostensibly to promote his new book, but it was so bizarre, so concerning, and so confusing that fans of The Sports Gossip Show begged Madeline and Charlotte to cover this strange development in the saga that is Bill and Jordon’s relationship.

You asked, SGS delivered. The gals are here with an emergency episode about everyone’s favorite age-gap relationship on which they have, for better or for worse, become experts.

Before Jordon enters the frame in CBS’ interview, viewers learn a fair amount about how Bill conducts himself with the media these days. Spoiler alert: Very similarly to how he always has. CBS’ Tony Dokoupil asks Bill about his upbringing and success with the Patriots. He presses Bill on why Patriots owner Robert Kraft doesn’t appear in his new book. Then, Dokoupil reveals that Jordon has been “a constant presence” during filming of the interview, and viewers see her interrupt the process to say “we’re not talking about this” when Dokoupil asks how the two met. Viewers also learn that Bill does not operate his own social media channels.

Madeline and Charlotte dive deep into why this interview seems more concerning than any content Bill and Jordon have put out so far. They also discuss the potential psychology behind what’s going on here, how the people who were in Bill’s life before Jordon must feel about this, and wonder where things go from here.

The shocking Dallas Mavericks x Luka Doncic trade expose, early NBA playoff gossip, Jalen Hurts is married, and a Cavinder twin is engaged

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 • Duration 59:31

The gals are playing hurt today, but the show must go on, and it’s as good as ever. Things kick off with a few news items about the Boston Marathon, Paige Buecker’s Day in Minnesota, and how Duke star Cooper Flagg declared for the draft.

Then, some relationship updates: the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark went to the NBA playoffs with her boyfriend, the Fever’s Lexie Hull is engaged to Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Will Matthiessen, and UMiami basketball star Haley Cavinder and Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson got engaged. Madeline notices footwear and rates how compressed the flowers are, and Charlotte notices the captions, and they both go on a tangent about Vera Bradley and American Girl Dolls. Plus: Eagles’ quarterback Jalen Hurts got engaged and was very chic about it. And Dodgers’ star Shohei Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, had a baby.

Then, a hard pivot: Anthony Edwards got fined $50,000 for taunting the fans at the Minnesota Timberwolves-Lakers playoff game over the weekend (Timberwolves won). And the gals go right into some gossip about the NBA Playoffs! Clippers’ star Kawhi Leonard had amazing comeback game, Ben Stiller made a Severance hype video for the Knicks, and Knicks star OG Anunoby plays well when Anne Hathaway or Suni Lee are at the game…but Suni went on Monday and they lost. Plus, Celtics’ coach Joe Mazzulla is intense, and Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green sent a message to the public before going dark on social media for the 2025 NBA Playoffs.

And, finally, a deep dive into the disastrous season that the Dallas Mavericks just completed. After making the shocking decision to trade former-Mavs star Luka Doncic to the Lakers in the middle of the night, general manager Nico Harrison is back on his heels in weird press conferences. An explosive report from ESPN’s Tim MacMahon sheds some light on what seems to be a very, very dysfunctional environment down in Texas, and the gals once again remind you that your employer is not your friend!
